Surviving as an Obsessive servant

CHAPTER 12

The old couple felt very sorry that they had thrown away all of Edrick’s mother’s belongings that were left behind.

But Edrick didn’t give up.

‘It might be here somewhere.’

He anxiously wandered through the small house.

More than half of the paint was peeling off from the wall where the crutches were always used to be hung. The place next to the dining table was so messy to even call it a kitchen—.

However, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t find it.

‘There’s no need to look around anymore—’

He bit his lips dejectedly. But suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

Then he heard a familiar voice.

‘—The village chief?’

Somehow, he had a bad feeling about this. 

Perhaps reading his Master’s mind, Rovel immediately headed out without further instruction.

He saw familiar faces in the front garden. And it was such a small space that it was embarrassing to even call it a garden.

There was the young man who used to bully him and the chief who used to make trouble for his mother.

Their faces brightened when they saw him.

But he still remembered the look on their faces that used to look at him like a bug crawling on the floor every time they saw him.

“Crutches! I, I know where the crutches are! We kept it for you!”

They used to cover their noses declaring that Edrick and his mother smelled like rotten garbage.

After all, they are still the ones who kept his crutches—.

He was angry at their shamelessness, but Edrick swallowed his anger and hurriedly asked.

“Where are my crutches?”

“T, that’s— I kept it in the storage room. But since it’s such an expensive item, I can’t take it out—”

The father and son pair eyed his clothes with greedy eyes. They looked very disgusting.

Edrick realized what they were up to. However, he could not respond rashly.

And he didn’t have any money to himself even though he was wearing these luxurious clothes.

The father and son’s humble attitude subtly changed as they noticed something strange.
